The anonymity that comes with this living situation is a relief when life gets busy, and I don’t want that to change. I think it’s a similar thing to friends of mine who choose to live in house shares with acquaintances that share their space. They actively avoiding becoming friends with them because they don’t want an added layer of responsibility.I also know people who live with friends but feel a real need to carve out solitude, away from others in the house.Loneliness is often brought up in conversations about millennials and young people who have moved away from their hometowns. I think there’s another side to that coin where for some of us, an ‘always on’ culture at work and among friends leaves us overwhelmed and craving a space where we can go unnoticed.
